@DGIThey see you having free time as a risk they're unwilling to tolerate.

@DGI If you were living under fascism, you wouldn't be voting. Democracy is the veil of shadow oligarchy.

Hannah Arendt saw the terror of Nazis in the 1920s and 30s and was imprisoned by the Gestapo. She knew the importance of standing up to Fascism and to Fascist Terror.

If John Pilger was around today, he'd have a lot to say about the Venezuela situation.

During times like this, the wisdom of John Pilger is very much needed.

Just imagine.

We could house everyone. We could feed everyone. We could care for everyone. We could build devices designed to last as long as possible. We could align our manufacturing around the needs of the people and the planet.We materially have the resources to do so.That's why leftists are so angry. The resources we need to build a world everyone can thrive in literally already exist. We are just using them mostly to pamper the rich or murder the poor.

Dancing frogs have become a symbol of resistance in the USA. Interestingly, over a decade ago David Graeber wrote a piece on the power of such symbols in protest movements. The piece is called - On the Phenomenology of Giant Puppets. Here is an extract.

"The police don’t spend their time fighting violent criminals. Instead, they enforce administrative regulations & endless rules. Rather than protecting us against violence they bring the threat of violence to situations where it'd never occur otherwise. Most incidents of domestic violence, a drunken brawl, or gang fights, they don’t get involved however try driving down the street with no license plates: how long it'll be before you're surrounded by people with weapons." - David Graeber

"What would happen if we stopped acting as if the primordial form of work is laboring at a production line, or wheat field, or iron foundry, or even in an office cubicle, and instead started from a mother, a teacher, or a caregiver? .We might be forced to conclude that the real business of human life is not contributing toward something called the economy but the fact that we are all, and have always been, projects of mutual creation.". - David Graeber

Always worth stopping to think about what Noam Chomsky has to say.
